I'm Andy, pouring you a fresh cup of car news with a Tuesday edition of Autoweek TV. Let's get going:

Plenty of carmakers brag about getting 40 miles per gallon. But Ford is closing in on the 50-mpg mark -- and not with a stripped-down compact either. Ford says the hybrid version of the redesigned Fusion sedan has been certified to deliver 47 mpg in city, highway and combined driving. That gives the Fusion a 4 mile per gallon advantage in city driving over the Toyota Camry hybrid. Of course, the regular Fusion is a gas-sipper, too. The base turbocharged 1.6-liter four-banger gets up to 37 mpg on the highway. The new Fusion will be in dealer showrooms about a month from now.

Press preview days for the Paris motor show are about a week away, which means automakers sending out first looks at some of their new cars. Among them is Lexus, which is bringing a new concept car to Paris -- the LF-CC coupe. At first glance we see this concept as a preview for a redesign of the Lexus IS. But styling cues from the previous Lexus LF-LC concept are evident too. The LF-CC rolls with, what else? A hybrid powertrain – in this case a four-cylinder gasoline engine mated to an electric motor.
